Hi, As a matter of fact, I am using the "restart service" feature microsoft kindly provided us ( I guess they saw the problems coming :-) ). However, this doesnt seem to help much. My guess now is that the service closes with exit code 0, so windows think that everything is the way it should be. Though that does not explain why the hell there is not a single record about that in the event log, normally it logs every start/stop of any service.
The only thing unusual about the server is that we use the console session remotely _a lot_, but I assume this shouldnt be causing troubles with fd?
